Now it has been found that the compounds of formula I may be used for the treatment of CNS diseases. The described compounds have been shown to reverse the L-687,414 ((3R,4R)-3 amino-1-hydroxy-4-methyl-pyrrolidin-2-one, a NMDA glycine site antagonist) induced hyperlocomotion, a behavioral pharmacodynamic mouse model for schizophrenia, described by D. Alberati et al. in Pharmacology, Biochemistry and Behavior, 97 (2010), 185-191. The authors described that hyperlocomotion induced by L-687,414 was inhibited by a series of known antipsychotic drugs. The compounds of formula I demonstrate marked activity in this model. These findings predict antipsychotic activity for the present compounds, making them useful for the treatment of positive (psychosis) and negative symptoms of schizophrenia, substance abuse, alcohol and drug addiction, obsessive-compulsive disorders, cognitive impairment, bipolar disorders, mood disorders, major depression, resistant depression, anxiety disorders, Alzheimer's disease, autism, Parkinson's disease, chronic pain, borderline personality disorder, sleep disturbances, chronic fatigue syndrome, stiffness, antiinflammatory effects in arthritis and balance problems, and treatment of epilepsy and neurodevelopmental disorders with co-morbid epilepsy.
In addition to the reversal of L-687,414 induced hyperlocomotion experiment as described above, some compounds of the present invention have been tested in SmartCube®, an automated system in which the behaviors of compound-treated mice in response to multiple challenges are captured by digital video and analyzed with computer algorithms (Roberds et al., Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2011, Vol. 5, Art. 103, 1-4; Vadim Alexandrov, Dani Brunner, Taleen Hanania, Emer Leahy Eur. J Pharmacol. 2015, 750, 82-99). In this way, the neuro-pharmacological effects of a test compound can be predicted by similarity to major classes of compounds, such as antipsychotics, anxiolytics and antidepressants. Examples 1, 3, 15, 18, 20, 39, 50 and 54 show similarity to atypical antipsychotics. The results are shown in Table 3.
In addition to the above-mentioned experiments, it has been shown that some of the compounds of formula I are also ENT1 inhibitors (equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 protein). Therapeutic potential of ENT1 inhibitors is directly or indirectly (via effects of adenosine and/or adenosine receptor modulation) described in the literature for the treatment of the following diseases:

Schizophrenia is a complex mental disorder typically appearing in late adolescence or early adulthood with a world-wide prevalence of approximately 1% of the adult population, which has enormous social and economic impact. The criteria of the Association of European Psychiatrists (ICD) and the American Psychiatric Association (DSM) for the diagnosis of schizophrenia require two or more characteristic symptoms to be present: delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior (positive symptoms), or negative symptoms (alogia, affective flattening, lack of motivation, anhedonia). As a group, people with schizophrenia have functional impairments that may begin in childhood, continue throughout adult life and make most patients unable to maintain normal employment or otherwise have normal social function. They also have a shortened lifespan compared to the general population, and suffer from an increased prevalence of a wide variety of other neuropsychiatric syndromes, including substance abuse, obsessive-compulsive symptoms and abnormal involuntary movements. Schizophrenia is also associated with a wide range of cognitive impairments, bipolar disorders, major depression and anxiety disorders, the severity of which limits the functioning of patients, even when psychotic symptoms are well controlled. The primary treatment of schizophrenia is antipsychotic medications. Antipsychotics, for example risperidone and olanzapine, however, fail to significantly ameliorate the negative symptoms and cognitive dysfunction.
Antipsychotic drugs have shown clinical efficacy for the treatment of the following diseases:
Fibromyalgia, which is a syndrome characterized by chronic generalized pain associated with different somatic symptoms, such as sleep disturbances, fatigue, stiffness, balance problems, hypersensitivity to physical and psychological environmental stimuli, depression and anxiety (CNS Drugs, 2012, 26, 2, 135-53).
Schizoaffective disorders: includes psychotic and affective symptoms, this disorder falls on a spectrum between bipolar disorders (with depressive and manic episodes, alcohol and drug addiction, substance abuse) and schizophrenia.

Biological Assays and Data
Now it has been found that the compounds of formula I may be used for the treatment of CNS diseases.
The described compounds of formula I reduce L-687,414-induced hyperlocomotion. This was assessed by using a computerized Digiscan 16 Animal Activity Monitoring System (Omnitech Electronics, Columbus, Ohio) to quantify locomotor activity. Animals were kept under a 12 h light/dark cycle and experiments were performed during the light period. Each activity monitoring chamber consisted of a Plexiglas box (41×41×28 cm; W×L×H) with sawdust bedding on the floor surrounded by invisible horizontal and vertical infrared sensor beams. The test boxes were divided by a Plexiglas cross providing each mouse with 20×20 cm of moving space. Cages were connected to a Digiscan Analyzer linked to a computer that constantly collected the beam status information. Records of photocell beam interruptions for individual animals were taken every 5 min over the duration of the experimental session and the sum of the first 6 periods was used as the final parameter. At least 8 mice were used in each treatment group. Compounds were administered i.p. 15 min before a s.c. injection of 50 mg/kg of L-687,414. Mice were then transferred from their home cage to the recording chambers for a 15-min habituation phase allowing free exploration of the new environment. Horizontal activity was then recorded for a 30-min time period. The % inhibition of L-687,414-induced hyperlocomotion was calculated according to the equation:
((Veh+L-687,414 horizontal activity−drug+L-687,414 horizontal activity)/Veh+L−687,414 horizontal activity)×100
ID50 values, defined as doses of each compound producing 50% inhibition of L-687,414-induced hyperlocomotion, were calculated by linear regression analysis of a dose-response data using an Excel-based computer-fitting program.
As data was not presupposed to be normally distributed, groups treated with test compounds were statistically compared with the control (vehicle-treated) group using one-tailed Mann Whitney U tests. In statistics, the Mann-Whitney Utest (also called the Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon (MWW) or Wilcoxon rank-sum test) is a non-parametric statistical hypothesis test for assessing whether one of two samples of independent observations tends to have larger values than the other. It is one of the most well-known non-parametric significance tests. A p value gives the probability that two groups are significantly different from each other and the value of <0.05 is generally accepted as a criterion, it implies that there is >95% chance that two groups are really different from each other. P values given in table 1 are one-tailed since only decreases in locomotion were expected and tested for (Mann, H. B., Whitney, D. R. (1947), “On a Test of Whether one of Two Random Variables is Stochastically Larger than the Other”, Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 18 (1), 50-60).
Determination of Adenosine Transport Activity
To measure adenosine transport activity of ENT-1 mammalian cells, stable cells expressing the mouse ENT-1 transporter were plated on day 1 in 96-well culture plates at the density of 60,000 cells/well, in complete DMEM/F12 medium supplemented with glutamax, 10% FBS and 10 μg/ml puromycin. On day 2, the medium was aspirated and the cells were washed twice with uptake buffer (10 mM Hepes-Tris, pH 7.4 containing 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM CaCl2, 2.5 mM KCl, 2.5 mM MgSO4, 10 mM D-glucose) (UB). For inhibition experiments, cells were then incubated at RT with various concentrations of compounds with 1% DMSO final. Non-specific uptake was defined in the presence of 10 μM S-(4-Nitrobenzyl)-6-thioinosine (NBTI, Sigma Cat #N2255).
A solution containing [2,8-3H]-adenosine 6 nM (40 Ci/mmol, American Radiolabeled chemicals Inc, Cat #ART 0287A) was then immediately added to the wells. The plates were then incubated for 20 min with gentle shaking and the reaction was stopped by aspiration of the mixture and washing (three times) with ice-cold UB. The cells were lysed by the addition of scintillation liquid, shaken 3 hours and the radioactivity in the cells was estimated using a microplates scintillation counter (TopCount NXT, Packard).

As mentioned above, some compounds have been tested in SmartCube®, an analytical system developed by PsychoGenics Inc.
SmartCube® was used to compare the behavioral signature of a test compound to a database of behavioral signatures obtained from a large set of clinically approved reference drugs, grouped per indications. In this way, the neuro-pharmacological effects of a test compound can be predicted by similarity to major classes of compounds, such as antipsychotics, anxiolytics and antidepressants. This approach is ideally suited to screen collections of existing drugs or drug candidates with previously unknown neuropharmacology, which could expedite the development of new and unexpected treatments for psychiatric disorders.
Some compounds of the present invention were injected i.p. at different doses 15 minutes before the test. At least 8 mice were used in each treatment group. Digital videos of the subjects were processed with computer vision algorithms to extract over 2000 dependent measures including frequency and duration of many different behavioral states. The results of the classifications are presented as bar charts for each compound and dose (mg/kg), the Y-axis indicates the relative probability that the test compound will show efficacy in the specific CNS indication.
Compounds of the present invention show similar signatures to those of atypical antipsychotics. An independent analysis was performed on the unclassified data to determine the similarity of the example compounds to active doses of known atypical antipsychotics. For this analysis, we use discrimination rate as the measure of separability between the two drugs, i.e. one drug's “distinguishability” from another. A rate equal to 50% (or 0.5) corresponds to zero distinguishability. Empirical data has shown that a threshold rate for reliable separation lies above 70% i.e., two drugs showing a discrimination rate of 70% or lower are considered similar, whereas a discrimination rate higher than 70% indicates that two drugs are dissimilar. The table below shows the similarity analysis of selected compounds of the present invention to several atypical antipsychotics. In most cases, the example compounds show a similarity to risperidone, clozapine and olanzapine with a discrimination rate of 0.70.

Therefore, it can be assumed that the present compounds have similar efficacies as known atypical antipsychotics.
The compounds of formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof can be used as medicaments, e.g. in the form of pharmaceutical preparations. The pharmaceutical preparations can be administered orally, e.g. in the form of tablets, coated tablets, dragées, hard and soft gelatine capsules, solutions, emulsions or suspensions. However, the administration can also be effected rectally, e.g. in the form of suppositories, or parenterally, e.g. in the form of injection solutions.
The compounds of formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof can be processed with pharmaceutically inert, inorganic or organic carriers for the production of pharmaceutical preparations. Lactose, corn starch or derivatives thereof, talc, stearic acid or its salts and the like can be used, for example, as such carriers for tablets, coated tablets, dragées and hard gelatine capsules. Suitable carriers for soft gelatine capsules are, for example, vegetable oils, waxes, fats, semi-solid and liquid polyols and the like; depending on the nature of the active substance no carriers are, however, usually required in the case of soft gelatine capsules. Suitable carriers for the production of solutions and syrups are, for example, water, polyols, sucrose, invert sugar, glucose and the like. Adjuvants, such as alcohols, polyols, glycerol, vegetable oils and the like, can be used for aqueous injection solutions of water-soluble salts of compounds of formula (I), but as a rule are not necessary. Suitable carriers for suppositories are, for example, natural or hardened oils, waxes, fats, semi-liquid or liquid polyols and the like.
In addition, the pharmaceutical preparations can contain preservatives, solubilizers, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, sweeteners, colorants, flavorants, salts for varying the osmotic pressure, buffers, masking agents or antioxidants. They can also contain still other therapeutically valuable substances.
As mentioned earlier, medicaments containing a compound of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and a therapeutically inert excipient are also an object of the present invention, as is a process for the production of such medicaments which comprises bringing one or more compounds of formula I or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and, if desired, one or more other therapeutically valuable substances into a galenical dosage form together with one or more therapeutically inert carriers. The active compounds may also be used in form of their prodrugs.
As further mentioned earlier, the use of the compounds of formula (I) for the preparation of medicaments useful in the prevention and/or the treatment of the above recited diseases is also an object of the present invention.
The dosage can vary within wide limits and will, of course, be fitted to the individual requirements in each particular case. In general, the effective dosage for oral or parenteral administration is between 0.01-20 mg/kg/day, with a dosage of 0.1-10 mg/kg/day being preferred for all of the indications described. The daily dosage for an adult person weighing 70 kg accordingly lies between 0.7-1400 mg per day, preferably between 7 and 700 mg per day.
